Grab your journal, it’s that time again! Time for your awesome journaling prompts for the month!

Journaling is proven to reduce stress and increase feelings of satisfaction, gratitude and an enlightened sense of wellbeing. This makes it a powerful tool we can ALL use to hone in on

who we are

what we want

what we value

and so much more

Your journal practice is what you make it, and my advice to you is to make it a daily habit to sit down for a couple of minutes every day to check in with yourself. You can write about anything, but if you find yourself struggling to come up with your own ideas of what to write about- these prompts are for you!

You may have noticed I took a little blogging break. Health issues and life happenings kept me from journaling and blogging as much as I would have liked. I’ll share why in another post, but for today -it’s a new month and that means new journal prompts!

So we’ve gone over why you should start journaling, but onto the hard part. How to start? There’s really no right or wrong way when it comes to journaling, but here are some tools and tips to get you started if you find yourself staring at an empty page.

Not too long ago, you could say I was in a bit of a rut. Health problems and money issues were bogging me down, and the fact that my husband and I had just recently moved to a new state meant that my support group was far and away (of course we skyped and texted and talked on the phone, but sometimes you really just need a hug from your mum…) I woke up in the morning scared and unsure. I could tell something was brewing inside that was making me sad and was holding me back from accomplishing much more than just getting out of bed in the morning. I had lost touch with myself.
